Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three types of protein fibers found in connective tissue are collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers. Option A is incorrect as hyaluronic acid is not a protein fiber but a type of glycosaminoglycan. Option B is incorrect as proteoglycan is also not a protein fiber, but a molecule that binds to protein to form proteoglycan aggregates. Option D is also incorrect as hyaluronic acid was already eliminated as an option and proteoglycan is still not a protein fiber. Option E mentions three terms (chondronectic, osteonectin, fibronectin) that are not protein fibers found in connective tissue.
